Is the battery holder still firmly connected to the circuit board?

These can become detatched and cause this sort of thing

As Jimbob says, the symptoms are the same as the common fault whereby the battery holder has a dry joint to the board...

try cutting a piece of cardboard (cereal box is right thicknesss) and putting it on top of the battery before reassembling the key - I found this makes it work better
